The professional version provides export feature and can save the scan results in XML or CSV files.

Some bug fixes are applied. Folder Size now will install for all user accounts by default. In previous version trying to use the application from another user account was leading to issues.

Analyzing file sizes has never been easier. Version 1.9.0.0 of our Free Folder Size application is now available for download.

Data is no longer stored in the application folder to prevent issues in Windows 7 and Windows Vista. We provide Folder Size Portable instead, which will store all the data files in its start-up folder. File size analysis is now even easier with the portable version as it does not require installation and you can carry it on your USB Flash drive wherever you go.

An issue is fixed that caused a crash in Folder Size if Adobe Flash was not installed. The link to the Adobe Flash in Folder Size will pop up in a new Internet Explorer window for easier installation.

A new options dialog will let you enable/disable error logging, set the thread priority and set the columns hidden/visible state.

The folder names in the chart are now enclosed in square brackets so that you can easier distinguish files and folders.

The new version comes packed with lots of new features and improvements.

The chart can now be used to navigate and it’s performance is dramatically improved. In addition to the new chart improvements there is also an option to export it as JPEG image.

A lot of new shortcuts are added including CTRL+C that will copy the path to the current item in the clipboard. The Alt+Left and Alt+Right shortcuts will navigate through the browse history which can now also be controlled via the special shortcuts on your keyboard or mouse. Please check the help file for a complete list of the available shortcuts.

The columns in the files list can be rearranged by dragging and also be hidden/displayed via context menu that will pop-up by right clicking on the header.

The improved support for Windows 7 will better handle symlinks. Error logging is provided in case of issues caused by files with bad data. Folder Size 1.8.0.0 better handles files with issues and will not terminate the scan in case of damaged file data.

Folder Size 1.4.0.0 provides plenty of new feature. The new Windows Explorer context menu “Scan with Folder Size”, the Drag And Drop support and the command line option: -scan “folder path” make it much easier to scan folders. The multiple selection will let you easier get rid of the unnecessary files and free up disk space. The new version of Folder Size is also extremely optimized. It scans two times faster and lists files on slower machines more than ten times faster.
